Some lovely shots you posted. Have to say I am considering swapping my old version for this one. It's seems to be consistently better at the long end; not to mention the smaller form factor and improved focusing.

Manfrotto 058B Triaut tripod with Manfrotto 029 head.
Spec of the tripod here http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-manfrotto-058b-triaut-tripod/p10849
And the current version of the head herehttp://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-manfrotto-229-3d-super-pro-head/p10897
This is a large heavy tripod which extends much taller than most. Man enough to support heavy kit. The head is well suited to it (by the look of it Manfrotto designed them as a matching pair. The tripod is in excellent condition. The head is fully functional but with some paint loss from one corner. I am only selling because I have since acquired a Gitzo 'giant' which goes even taller.
£200 for the set plus £25 UK postage. Ideally I would prefer cash on collection from Forest Gate, East London on this one.
See item 12 in the picture below:

Giottos MM5570 monopod
In very good condition. Extended height 176cm, closed 63cm. Has a built in swivel head and removable plate. Has 3 small legs concealed in the bottom section that can attach to the base to make it free standing.

This alternative to a gimbal head is big and ugly but works well. Says for monopods but works equally well on tripods. Comes with a 14cm long QR plate. Top right in the picture below.

FWIW, have you tried the grip on the K-3 because some 3rd party ones will fit as the locating pins are slightly smaller than the Pentax version (that's how I fitted one on to my K-3, although I did have to use some neoprene padding along the top edge of the grip, and the actions of a couple of the buttons are reversed)?

In excellent condition with instructions and box. I will also include a spare battery.
Note that the HDMI cable supplied is compatable with Pentax cameras up to the K5 series. The K3 and K1 have a smaller HDMI socket so will require an adaptor or a different cable (easily obtainable).
£150 delivered to UK. Though I will need to check who will deliver stuff with lithium batteries - I hope that Royal Mail will.


Just give an idea of size. (K01 not included )

The only fault I can see with this is that a small piece of the Pentax viewfinder housing has chipped off. This does not impact on operation and it still fits snugly and securely in place.

This shows how it looks in use (K1 not included )

The monitor does not have to be on the camera. With a longer lead it could be placed anywhere - on a lighting stand or similar.
